Give Jehovah the glory due his name.—Ps. 96:8.

 

What is glory? In the Bible, the word “glory” can refer to anything that makes someone impressive. Jehovah made an outstanding display of his glory shortly after the nation of Israel was delivered from slavery in Egypt. Picture the scene: Millions of Israelites assemble at the base of Mount Sinai to meet their God. A dark cloud engulfs the mountain. Suddenly, a tremendous earthquake—apparently coupled with volcanic activity—shakes the ground beneath their feet while lightning, thunder, and the deafening sound of a horn fill the air. (Ex. 19:16-18; 24:17; Ps. 68:8) Imagine how impressed those Israelites were when Jehovah revealed this powerful display of his glory. Today, we give Jehovah glory by telling others about his awesome power and his heartwarming qualities and when we give him credit for things we accomplish in his strength.—Isa. 26:12. w25.01 2 ¶2-3

Moses and Aaron messed up.
They didn’t give Jehovah the credit.
That mattered.

 

The miracle wasn’t the problem.
The credit was.

 

Jehovah does not share His glory.
Not with leaders.
Not with helpers.
Not with anyone.

 

We make the same mistake today.
We say nature instead of creation.
That swap is not harmless.

 

Creation points to Someone.
Nature sounds automatic.
Like it just happens.

 

That leaves out the start.
The start is Jehovah.

 

Words matter.
Credit matters.
Jehovah matters most.

 

Give Him the glory.
Always.
